Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Verilux® Rise & Shine® Natural Sleep
System. With the Rise & Shine, you’ll fall asleep peacefully and wake refreshed
with soothing, ambient lighting and sound, customized to your preferences.
Sound options
The Rise & Shine provides relaxing and rejuvenating sleeping and waking
experiences with an FM radio and an MP3 player that can support up to 800
MP3 files from a USB thumb drive or SD card. Additionally, an AUX IN connection
allows you to connect to external audio sources, including iPods®, as another
option to customize the audio portion of your sleeping and waking experience.
Come morning, the Rise & Shine light panel will slowly brighten as your selected
audio increases in volume over 5, 15 or 30 minutes. Find serenity when waking
gently to one of eight included natural ambient soundscapes, your favorite FM
radio station, MP3 songs, talk therapy programs or books.
Light options
Your Rise & Shine’s LED light panel – which incorporates both blue and white
LEDs — helps you to fall asleep and wake at a gentle, gradual pace.
At night, the LED panel’s white LEDs dim gradually over your chosen “sleep
duration” as you fall asleep. The light panel has 20 brightness levels — and you
can also use an optional external lamp, which will dim and brighten automatically
with the LED panel to help you sleep or wake.
For Sleep Mode, you set the initial brightness level for the cycle. When the Sleep
Cycle begins, the white LEDs will begin at this level then continue to dim until the
Sleep Cycle duration ends.
In the morning, first blue then white light gradually brightens to help you wake
refreshed. The blue LED’s are only used in Wake Mode to provide additional
stimulus to your body’s waking functions.
The use of light from both the LED light panel and an external lamp are optional.
You may choose:
• no light • an external lamp only • LED light only
• both LED light and external lamp light

Setting SLEEP MODE
During a Sleep Cycle, the Rise & Shine will reduce the light and sound level
from their current settings to completely off. This decreasing of light and sound
prepares the body and allows you to fall asleep gradually and sleep soundly.
The starting level of the light and sound is determined by the settings of the Rise
& Shine when the sleep button is pressed, however, the blue LEDs on the LED
light panel will be immediately turned off. Blue light can be very stimulating to the
system and is not useful in preparing the body to sleep.
The Rise & Shine will remain in the Sleep Mode for 12 hours unless interrupted.
This means all of the Sleep Options will remain as set for the Sleep Mode
(including the backlight which may be on or off depending on your settings).
Sleep Mode Options
The Sleep Mode optional functionality must be preset from the SLEEP SET menu.
These options include:
• Duration
• Light

Using Sleep Mode
Once your Sleep Mode settings are complete, you are ready to use this Mode to
help guide your body into a restful sleep state.
Checking Sleep Settings
If prior to entering Sleep Mode you wish to check your settings:
1. Press the Menu Button.
2. Turn the Selector Control Dial to highlight SLEEP SET.
3. Press Selector Control Dial.
Here you will see the list of Sleep Options and current settings. Using the Selector
Control Dial you can highlight any of the specific settings to get more detail. (To
change a setting, please refer to the ‘Setting Sleep Mode’ section in this manual.)
4. Press Menu Once to Exit. Please note: Exiting in this manner is a ‘quick
escape’ and will do so WITHOUT saving changes to a setting.
REMEMBER: Once a Sleep Cycle is started, the SLEEP SET MENU will not
be available. If you wish to review or adjust your Sleep Options, you must first
interrupt the current Sleep Cycle.
Starting a Sleep Cycle
Starting a Sleep Cycle is as easy as pressing the
SLEEP button.
Remember: Once the SLEEP button is pressed, the
Rise & Shine will begin to run your Sleep Cycle. The
Blue LEDs will immediately turn off, because blue light is too stimulating for the
system when trying to prepare the body for sleep, and the light and sound levels
will start from the current level and progressively lower until completely off.
Muting a Sleep Cycle
During a Sleep Cycle, the Audio can be muted by pressing the Selector Control
Dial. However, the sleep program will continue. Therefore when you turn the Mute
function off you may find the audio level lower than it was when Mute was initially
selected. While the Sleep Cycle is muted the light brightness will continue to
reduce (if selected as part of your preset Sleep Options).
Interrupting a Sleep Cycle
There are two separate portions of a Sleep Cycle. The first is during the reduction
of light and sound as the Rise & Shine is preparing you to sleep. This portion
continues until the selected Sleep Cycle duration is completed (5, 15 or 30
minutes) and the lights and sound are completely off.
22
VA04-Man-Rev32.indd 22
7/19/11 10:43 AM
Using Sleep Mode — continued
During this time in the Sleep Cycle, the Cycle can be interrupted by:
1. Pressing the SLEEP BUTTON.
Or
2. Turning the AUDIO INPUT SELECTOR.
The second portion of the Sleep Cycle occurs once
the lights and sounds are completely off. This portion
of the Sleep Cycle will continue for 12 hours unless the Sleep Cycle is interrupted
or broken. The BACKLIGHT may be off during this portion of the Sleep Cycle (if
selected as part of your preset Sleep Options.)
During this time in the Sleep Cycle, the Cycle can be interrupted by:
1. Pressing the SLEEP BUTTON. (You may need
to press it twice if the Backlight is set to OFF,
See Sleep Backlight Controls below for more
information)
Or
2. Turning the BRIGHTNESS, AUDIO INPUT
SELECTOR or VOLUME DIALS
The Rise & Shine system is attempting to remain in the SLEEP MODE during
your entire rest period. The system assumes if you are adjusting the Brightness,
Audio Sources or Volume levels you no longer are asleep and wish the system to
resume non-sleep related functions.
REMEMBER: When you interrupt the Sleep Mode, the Rise & Shine will return
to the settings of the system before the Sleep Cycle was started. The lights and
audio will come back on at the same settings as they were when the Sleep Mode
started. This can be startling. Please be mindful when interrupting a Sleep Cycle.
Please note: A Preset Wake Cycle will also automatically break the Sleep Mode
when it begins to wake you with light and/or sound. Once a Sleep Cycle is
interrupted it can only be re-entered by completing another Sleep Cycle (allowing
the light and sound to reduce over a 5, 15 or 30 minute cycle).
Backlight in a Sleep Mode
If the Backlight is set to OFF in Sleep Mode, once the light and sound have been
reduced and turned off, the backlight will turn off as well. This is a very useful
feature for people who do not want ANY light in the room while they are sleeping.
However, in this mode it is very difficult to see the time or make any adjustments
to the Rise & Shine system. So while in the Sleep Mode, if the back light is off, the
system is able to briefly turn the Backlight back on if you wish to quickly view the
time or interact with the system.

pre-sleep settings. This can be startling if done in error so please use caution
when selecting the Sleep Button to operate the Backlight in Sleep Mode. It is
suggested the Selector Control Dial be used for this function to minimize the
possibility of an accidental interruption of the Sleep Cycle.

The audio is not working.
• Turn the volume up.
• Make sure the Audio Input Selector is
not set to OFF.
• Does the display show MUTE? If so, press
the Selector Control Dial to unmute.
Volume of connected AUX device is
too low.
• Turn up volume of Rise & Shine® and
AUX device. Do so carefully.
I set an MP3 for my wake/sleep and
the FM radio played instead.
• Verify that the sound source was
correctly set in the menu. Reference
page 17 or 20. To ensure there is some
wake up sound, the system will default to
Radio if the SD or USB cannot be found.
I am getting a display on the screen
“SD Card/USB missing.”
• The device has not been detected by
the product.
• Ensure that the device is inserted
properly.
FM reception is weak.
• Connect the supplied external antenna.
The song I selected is not playing. A
different song is playing.
• If you selected continuous mode,
other songs will be played.
• Verify that the correct memory device
was inserted, for example the correct
SD card.
After snoozing, the alarm seems
louder.
• The snooze interrupts the wake sequence.
• The farther along the Rise & Shine
moves into the wake cycle, the louder
the sound becomes, until it reaches the
maximum setting you programmed.
• If the volume is too loud, you will need
to readjust the maximum volume in the
wake setting (Reference page 17).
When I selected a Wake tone, the
play mode changed to repeat.
• This is a normal feature of Wake tones.
The tones are intended to loop.
• If you do not like this setting, change
the setting to continuous (Reference
page 17-18).
When I looked at the provided wake
tones, there was a symbol in front
of it.
• This symbol is a unique character
recognized by the system to enable
looping upon selection.
